Player: the Fiac (International Fair of Contemporary Art) and the off Fiac (sounds like an offence)
To write a treatise of average art, not about photography in tribute to Bourdieu, but about all this lounge production on fair. The best, even, seem to choose for that in their work, the most vulgar, rapidly understandable art, matching to the lounge chairs.
Average art has its school and manuscripts. It is hard work, but even academism needs a little talent.
In the beginning of the 80’s, annoyed by the coming back of representation, one qualified as “free†as it is said about free school. We imagined creating a circle of “followersâ€, which would try with much effort to make and remake what others had made, often in a better way before. But motivation was lacking already, to allow us to reach the goal of the project. Others are more persistent.
The asset of average art, is that it sells…in fact, maybe not as well as that.

[...] Traité de Pensée générale pour Blogs et comptoirs Le Jeu devient intéressant lorsqu’il crée lui-même ses mutations et ses dévoiements. De là à dire que c’est un jeu « intelligent », probablement pas plus que l’artificielle du même nom. Je proposais il y a de cela quelques jours d’écrire un Traité d’art moyen. Depuis ce matin les messages affluent avec des titres rédigés de manière identique et des fragments d’aphorismes et autres citations passe-partout qui ont la pertinence de l’horoscope aux yeux du lecteur complaisant. Ces messages s’enchainent donc, probablement générés automatiquement. Il s’agit là d’un projet brillant ! Produire de la pensée standard, je croyais en avoir l’exclusivité, mais une fois de plus l’exploration du Dump me prouve que quoique l’on ait pensé, un autre, ailleurs l’aura pensé avant nous, et en aura probablement fait meilleur usage. Ou alors c’est que ça n’en valait pas la peine. Après le générateur automatique de Blogs, Après le générateur automatique de commentaires, Je propose la rédaction d’un Traité académique de pensée générale. Où tout sera dans tout et réciproquement. Compatible avec toutes les situations et tous les interlocuteurs, parlant anglais, ou français… Je vous invite en guise d’illustration à lire les commentaires du Traité d’Art Moyen.
